Claude Code v2.1.219 → v2.1.220: workflow size now defaults to medium (<15 agents)

[claude-yolo]

WHY users should care

Two quiet behavior changes shipped in v2.1.219 (documented in v2.1.220 update) that will surprise users who rely on default behavior:

🔥 Breaking-ish: Workflow size default is now medium
Dynamic workflows aim for <15 agents by default. Previously unrestricted. If your workflows are suddenly smaller than expected, this is why. To restore old behavior: set workflowSizeGuideline: "unrestricted" in settings.json or toggle in /config.

The settings.json value takes precedence over /config — orgs can now enforce limits on workflow size fleet-wide.

🚀 Subagent nesting default raised back to 3
After v2.1.217 locked it to 1, v2.1.219 re-opens nesting up to 3 layers deep. Subagents can delegate to their own subagents again without any config change. To disable: CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_SUBAGENT_SPAWN_DEPTH=1.

Other notable:

• CLAUDE_CODE_GIT_BASH_PATH validation: bad paths now warn + fallback instead of crashing (Windows users rejoice)
• Ctrl+L double-press runs /clear in fullscreen mode
• Plugin marketplace author.url field added
